45. Lithium Battery Charging with an Alternator

After a lot of testing and tweaking, I'm finally happy with how my Lithium iron phosphate or LiFePO4 batteries are charging using my narrowboats alternator. Initially, the charge was too harsh so I used a Victron BMS 12/200 to regulate the current and give me the option to disable the charge when I want to.
